In my perspective, I perceive communication as a process which allows an individual to share, transmit or even pass on information, knowledge, and experiences to other parties involved in the circle of communication. In addition, individuals within are able to know more about each other and at the same time learn from one another to the point that everyone can leverage on one another's knowledge or capabilities.
However, in order for communication to be considered successful or pleasant for those involved in it, the behaviour or attitude of the involved individuals must be correct and positive. In short, successful communication can only be achieved when those involved are clear on what they are trying to attain at the end of the process.
In light of this, our group had a couple of meetings over the past three weeks. These meetings were focused on the various tasking that we had to complete. Among all the meetings that our group had, there was one that was very fulfilling and this meeting was also the first meeting that we had for our CS2103T - Software Engineering Project. The reason why I have stated so is because I personally feel that having not known both of my group mates (Zhang Xi and Qin Chuan) before until I took up this module and having to work together on a project that requires great teamwork and commitment, pulling off such a feat would not be easy due to a lack of understanding of one another. However to my surprise both of them were very friendly and open to ideas that were brought out on the table for discussion.
Both Zhang Xi and Qin Chuan were very engaged in our discussions during this particular meeting, they were very quick in their response to my suggestions and in these responses, there were times that they were able to highlight certain important areas of the project requirements in which I had overlooked. This showed their level of positiveness during this meeting where the essence of a successful communication was basically thriving and this also agrees with what I had mentioned earlier about how communication can be considered successful if those involved have the right and positive attitude.
In conclusion, my experience throughout the meetings that we have had in the past three weeks were really pleasant as I was able to once again experience working with people who were very interested and committed to what they were working on. Also, I feel very contented and grateful that I have such great team members. This is because in the past, especially during the time when I was still studying in a polytechnic, I often had members in my team that failed in terms of commitment, trust and responsibility. I look forward to have a wonderful working experience with both Zhang Xi and Qin Chuan as we continue to move on in this module and hopefully from the teachings of this module, we would be able to achieve our goals for our projects.
